Tower Bridge emblazoned with call for social homes
Thousands prepare to hit London over rocketing rents and posh purchases
Housing campaigners brought London traffic to a standstill yesterday as they emblazoned Tower Bridge with the words: “Social housing, not social cleansing.”
The banner-hanging stunt came 24 hours before today’s March for Homes, which is expected to see thousands swarm the streets of the capital.
“There is now no doubt at the depth of public concern about the capital’s housing crisis,” said Labour’s London Assembly housing spokesman Tom Copley.
